On December 9th 2003, the Sci Fi channel aired the miniseries of “Battlestar Galactica”- a re-imagined take on the show of the same name from the seventies. The result was a provocative, entertaining, and an intense nail-biting experience; this naturally paved the way for the new acclaimed series. “Battlestar Galactica” is now in its third season.

Why do I tell you all this? Well, certainly most of you are fans, at least in some capacity, and you need not this trivial foreword. So I ask again why? Well, I’ll tell you.

What we have here is a rare treat for you. We have a sneak peek at this season’s fifth episode- “Torn”, which Andy personally smuggled straight from the BSG editing suite in LA. It is an intense episode dealing with the Galactica’s never-ending quest for the homeland.

We were hosting the torrent, but Universal politely asked us to cease and desist. The P! Company’s CEO, Travis MacDougal, buckled for fear of the potential lawsuit, but we still have a small broadband-sized clip uploaded on the site for you to download at your convenience. Hopefully they are not listening in… right…. now.

In any case, we hope this finds you well out there in internet-land.

Any newbies to the P! Company humor should check out these recent sketches…

1) Heroes of the Federation- Follow a few good men as they suit up for the good of their Federation. Flying Support Support Missions for the fleet is the dream of these two academy trainees. But are they up to the challenge- find out in Heroes of the Federation.

2) Starship Kid: Part One- Meet a family in turmoil and a child with a destiny beyond his comprehension. This is part one in an epic two part sketch. Looking for Starship Kid: Part Two [CLICK HERE]

3) Cornmaker- Roomates Bob, Jimmy and Mike have a run in with a miraculous home appliance, the cornmaker. What cosmic properties does the machine possess? Will the trio escape with their lives? Find out in Cornmaker.

4) Brains and Brawn- The P! Company is out of money and the only way to fund their existence relies on their ability to train their bodies to peak human potential. Utilizing a brief montage and three minute workout, will the guys be able to pull it together in time? Find out in Brains and Brawn.

5) Alternate CUTS: The Terminator- Pretty self explanatory. This is a re-cut version of the James Cameron’s 1984 cult film The Terminator with a satisfactory twist ending.

Ideally, this should act as a good preface to our unique style of comedy. I hope you guys enjoy it- I know we sure did.

Thanks,
Andy and Kyle

Welcome to the site. I’m Travis Mac Dougal, new CEO and President of Entertainment. I apologize for the nature of the sketches in the recent present. My predecessors Andy and Kyle apparently thought it was ok to update with these wildly un-funny videos about Starship Kids, Corn makers, and Work Out Videos. Well fans, I’m here to tell you that the new P! Company is going to be changing and for the better.

Welcome to the brand New P! Company. I was appointed to takeover about a month ago and we have finally finished the delicate power transition. I’m now ready to serve you and your friends by providing the world’s greatest collection of rad skate clips, wild police videos, hilarious internet video phonomenons, and other random video clips.

The first and perhaps most obvious change is the site. We have updated with a new POWER template for the Wordpress blog we run on the homepage. One of the coolest options to this design is you may select your own back ground- personalizing your P! Company experience. Choose bamboo, clouds, trippy nature, a sun-lit forest, blades of grass, more clouds, and trippy nature again. After a painstaking amount of research and surveys, our in-house psycologist/scientitst stated that each of these images was soothing, relaxing and HILARIOUS. You can’t argue with science, folks.

So, that’s six to seven choices to make each time you visit the site. Something new, unique, and interesting for you- the P! Company fan. We also have a little calendar on the side menu to select certain dates of interest on our update schedule. We also plan on several future updates for the site so stay tuned and keep interested.

On the videos front, Andy and Kyle will be updating with a certain secret video preview. I saw it, and even though I’m not a fan of the show, I thought it was kind of neat for you science fiction dorks out there. So look for that either tonight or tomorrow.

MacDougal out.

Mr. MacDougal has lined up a whole series of wonderful titles for the viewers and patrons of our little sketch comedy website. Well, I wish I could say it was sketch comedy, but sadly it is the second in a series of infomercials continuing from last week.

“Searchlight Beacon LLC- Seminars for Life”TM provides a great opportunity to think, evaluate, challenge, and succeed in the issues of your life. They say if you take a moment to break down the problem, the solution will present itself clearly. Let’s take my recent loss of standing in the P! Company for example. First, I think about it- I hate the idea of loosing my shares, my rights, and my say in the company. Second, I evaluate- Umm, MacDougal is a jackass, an untalented idiot who couldn’t write sketch comedy if he erased someone else’s name off the script. I’m much funnier. Maybe if I were to apply myself really hard, I could re-assert myself into the company- you know, pick up the pieces after MacDougal screws it all up. Third, I think I challenge and/or succeed. Well, that seems simple enough. I’ll just do that.

I’ve got to tell you this process really does work. I feel better already. I’m thankful that it was mandatory for all personnel to take the course. Whether it is or isn’t brain-washing, “Searchlight Beacon LLC- Seminars for Life”TM can help you take life by the horns. I tell you what, take the course and we will talk about it. I’ll bring the fruit punch if you bring the matching jumpsuits and tennis shoes. It promises to be an evening not to soon be forgotten.

It’s been a dark couple of days here at The P! Company HQ — to say the least. When Kyle and I were hired, we made several big promises. Perhaps the loftiest of all was my claim that, starting on September 4, The P! Company could make 100 friends on MySpace. The deadline was September 30. We topped out at a paltry 57. I try not to go by the newsstands lately; The BusinessWeek cover story is less than flattering, and as for our spread in US Weekly, well, let’s not go there.

The stock market had its Black Tuesday in 1929. I suppose this is ours. The Board and its Chairman, Mr. Shanghai, removed us from day-to-day operations in a secret vote held last Wednesday. Furthermore, Mr. Shanghai purchased 51% of our stock holdings, essentially neutralizing our controlling interests in the company. Travis Kinney MacDougal, formerly CFO of sketch comedy rival F-Stop Video Productions, Inc., was brought in as The P! Company’s new President and CEO.

Mr. MacDougal has ordered us to post the following statement:

“It is regrettable that J.K. Sweeney and Andrew Petruzzo were dismissed from their leadership positions here at the P! Company. They just simply made promises that were not kept. At F-Stop Video Productions, when I said something was going to get done, it got done. I think that’s why the Board brought me in. I’ve got some bold new visions for this company. Have you heard of YouTube? Well, we’ve got some hilarious new skateboard videos coming down the pipeline. We’ve even got a little girl that goes absolutely nuts when she gets a Sega Saturn for Christmas - It’s hilarious! Andy and Kyle will remain in Vancouver and will be allowed periodic access to our production equipment. Pending embezzlement proceedings, I will consider what to do with their new videos. Thank you and GodSpeed.”

So here we are. Instead of a typical sketch this week, new P! Company policy dictates that infomercials, not sketches, will be the primary source of “entertainment” at this website. Apparently, the company is in the red and desperately needs cash.

There is a silver lining in all of this, however. Searchlight Beacon, LLC, the company famous for its life-changing seminars, will be the first to air its infomercials on this site. And it is with a glad heart that I say that this Corporation is the real deal. At first, Kyle and I were skeptical, even irate. But word came down from on High that everyone in the P! Company was to take one of Searchlight Beacon’s seminars to improve productivity. We dragged our feet and flew to the nearest Seminar, which was in Seattle. What at first seemed like bizarre, cult-like groupthink — gradually became amazing. I know I learned a lot about myself that weekend, and I think Kyle did to. I think it was really the best thing for us following the recent corporate politics at our Company. I look at life now and feel rejuvenated. Hell, I even lost 46 pounds!

So, although I strongly disagree with The P! Company’s new direction, I support Searchlight Beacon, LLC in anything it does. We’ll talk to you soon.
